Pleased to announce that I just signed a contract with @CRCPress to publish a print version of my stats book! I love working with them, as they will allow the web based version to stay after the print book comes out! https://t.co/aefUzpiZNM

@van9t5 O ek het gedink die twee tussens was deel van die grap wat ek nie gesnap het nie! Ek verstaan net so 75% van jou strokies as gevolg van die taalverskille, maar die wat ek wel snap geniet ek baie!

[Darrin Speegle @speegled]

@JohnsenFr That is definitely a cleaner parser than what I was going to be able to write - you saw what I had just to get the initial worry values!

Haven't seen many Day 11 #Rstats #adventofocode solutions posted, so here is mine. Decided to just manually input the functions and test conditions, don't judge me.

I remember this because I was asked on an in-class exam (pencil and paper) what the largest LCM of integers that add to 100 is! I did not get that question right 3/3

[Darrin Speegle @speegled]

The sum of the first 9 primes is 100, for example, and the LCM of 3, 16, 9, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19 (232792560) is larger than the LCM of 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23 (223092870) 2/3

I got inspiration from @Emil_Hvitfeldt's friends package! #RStats

@CT_Bergstrom Yesterday my CVS pharmacist said he had about 50 vaccinations plus his regular post Labor Day script fills. He was obviously stressed and running 45 minutes behind. It's not his fault; maybe wait a few days if you can and then go talk to the pharmacist?

@chrisprener I have experience with Recipe Box

I suspect some of the tails first responses were using an automated system of some kind, though it might also be that they were aware of the heads first bias. 2/2

[Darrin Speegle @speegled]

52 Heads first and 23 Tails first out of 75 respondents. Exercises 10.20-10.21 in our book https://t.co/KGY26xzrlg explores this from Bar-Hillel, Peer, and Acquisti, “‘Heads or Tails?’ – a Reachability Bias in Binary Choice” @turtlegraphics 1/2

Hey Twitter, I have a game we can play:

How well do you think you could simulate a sequence of flips from a fair coin?

Reply to this tweet with a sequence of at least 20 flips (using H and T to mean heads and tails, for e.g. HTTTHTTHTHHTHHTHTTTT) and I will tell you how you did

[Darrin Speegle @speegled]

@MLautmer I always assumed he thought I was an English speaking South African, which is by far the most likely when you run into someone in SA who doesn't sound quite right.
Still a really nice compliment, though, I agree!

Really enjoying James, @daniela_witten, Hastie and Tibshirani's ISLR. I have a modest proposal to improve Figure 7.1, though. #rstats #LePetitPrince

@pieohmystl We will miss you! Good luck in your next adventure
